their own biography
the whole biography
Sissies of Mercy is the back-to-back collaboration between longtime best-friends sam & austen. Born out of their love for dancing together, their sound as a duo balances playful nostalgia and raunchy darkness to command a sweaty dancefloor. Weaving together diva-fueled house, sparkly 80's pop, nasty acid, and cheeky electro, Sissies' sets create shared moments of freedom and transcendent joy fueled by love and light.Recently at H0L0, Gabriela, Nowadays · often with Eli Escobar, Volvox, Andi, none of them here that night
“New York bred, Paris based performer, DJ, producer.”

their own biography
the whole biography
Hailing from Boston and emerging from NYC's underground, Fruitbat haunts foggy dancefloors with sounds of flamboyant synth, EBM and hard hitting industrial. He is the organizer of the monthly goth and dark dance night Sissies of Mercy. With his monthly party, his goal is to create a haven for queers, freaks and anyone else who dares to lurk in the shadows. Being an enjoyer of all things campy and 80's, you can expect Fruitbat's sets to be just as silly as they are serious. He is no stranger to having fun. and will absolutely let everyone else in the crowd know that they can too. Fruitbat's sets takes dancers on a trip through eccentric synthpop to the darkest of wave, industrial and dark dungeon sounds. Through this trip, one can find themself going from singing along to goth classics, sandwiched between moshing and thrashing to hard, dark dance delicacies. Fruitbat hopes to continue making spaces where trans people can be their true authentic selves on the dancefloor. Especially since the world is limiting trans people's rights more and more every day.Recently at Trans-Pecos, Paragon, Bossa Nova Civic Club · often with Alison Wonderland, Alex Unger, Biggly, none of them here that night
